Every November from '75 to '78 (so I was eight to eleven) my folks and I would go to Sanibel for a week's vacation; I have good memories of my parents getting along well (they divorced in the summer of '79) and me riding my bicycle like a maniac all over the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge while my parents watched birds.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We didn't even make it into the psychologist's office. Yes, she knows what we're dealing with, but mostly focused on what we did wrong. Sigh...
Last night was peaceful, but only because Mr. S fell asleep right after dinner. He woke up around 6:15 this morning. Today has had its ups and downs. Gary took him to an indoor miniature golf place that also had an arcade, and he had a meltdown because he didn't win at the claw games. He doesn't understand that those games are extremely difficult to win, and doesn't deal with frustration well.

Thrive to spite them
Sheryl I know it has to be frustrating you have someone focusing on things that could be done differently than you have been doing but...it's an important thing to be able to give up coping mechanisms or techniques that haven't been working. It gives you a chance to find out what will work and what will make all your lives more peaceful.

Well this was an exciting soccer day! My team had crept up to second place and this weekend was the last regular season games. But the #1 team (Portland) was playing the last place team, so we all figured no way we could beat them. But then the last place team (NY) pulled off a tie (!!) and my team won tonight and so they win the regular season! (And get a home playoff game and a bye week for the first week of playoffs). So that was exciting!!
Also I cut my hair and re-dyed it hot pink. And bought some boot cut jeans. Because they remind me of my early 20s, whereas the baggy jeans I just couldn’t handle. Maybe next year. Of course, boot cut in seattle are silly in the winter but whatever.

May be getting a new house. We're moving North to get away from the heat and a bit for politics as well.

We have a signed contract on the condo, just need to be approved by the board. Which should happen since we are such totes upstanding citizens. Close scheduled for 11/7 or sooner. Hoping for a bit sooner since I won't head down that way until we are closing. I don't have to be there for it, but I will be. Hope to not have a hard freeze here before I leave. So far just a bit of frost. Colors are spectacular though.
